Antioxidants Could Help Huntington"™s Disease Sufferers, Study Suggests
Published October 10, 2008, 7:23 am, Science Daily
Therapeutic strategies to strengthen antioxidant defenses could help to prevent the progression of Huntington's Disease. New research shows that oxidative stress and damage to certain macromolecules are involved in the progression of Huntington's Disease (HD), which is characterised by psychiatric and cognitive disturbance, involuntary movements (chorea) and dementia.

- Wandering Minds: The Default Network and Stimulus-Indep endent Thought: This is the Malin article that uses both psychological sampling and fMRI's to propose a default network of cortical regions active when the brain is supposedly unoccupied, proposes that these regions may generate the ?random? thoughts during mind-wandering and that ?mind-wanderin g constitutes a psychological baseline that emerges when the brain is otherwise unoccupied, supported by activity in a default network of cortical regions.?

- Nuit Blanche: Compressed Sensing, Primary Visual Cortex, Dimensionality Reduction, Manifolds and Autism: If natural images are sparse and our eye system has sparse receptors, is there a way our brain finds a sparse decomposition of the world in a way that works in a linear fashion? The thinking goes that our brain is really capable of understanding scenes without an iteration process (an iteration process is nonlinear and has a high cost in terms of energy). When Emmanuel Candes and David Donoho showed that in fact, non-adaptive schemes using curvelets could decompose natural images it became obvious that a good parallel could be made between the physiology of the primary cortex and this new type of decomposition. But how do you do this decomposition ? While an m-term curvelet expansion of a scene can be thresholded and can rival with complex adaptive approximation schemes, it does not answer how the primary cortex eventually comes up with that m number.
